Adele Renault[1] was born in
Liège,
Belgium. She is a
visual artist and
muralist, known for her hyper- and
photo-realistic paintings from smaller works on canvas and large-scale public pieces. Renault’s work is a combination of
traditional and
contemporary techniques. With her skills she captures the characteristic beauty of everyday life with precise and detailed craftsmanship.[2][3]
Career
Renault was raised in the Belgian Ardennes and grew up in a musical and creative family. She is the daughter of composer and pianist
Jean-Christophe Renault and composer and guitarist Véronique Gillet. Her sister is the singer and pianist Mathilde Renault.
Adele Renault lived and studied in different countries. Following her instinct and desire to paint she studied
visual arts from classical oil painting to modern spray can graffiti, while experimenting with
new media and
graphic design. Renault graduated in 2010 from the
Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels.
The diversity of humanity,
avifauna and
flora in American cities became the fertile ground for her pictorial aspirations. Her interest in people, plants and pigeons stems from the commonality that no matter the city, each can be found in
abundance.
Through her series, Gutter Paradise, started in 2016, Adele has pushed her practice towards a meticulous study of a detail that has in itself become the subject of her work. She forcefully alters an element that might seem banal to make it the main focus of her research.[4][5][1][6]
